Chapter 3528: 4.1128 A Head on a Platter

His first glance revealed a delicately featured, expressionless young lady, seated grandly at their main entrance, holding a fruit plate. She looked less like someone demanding payment and more like she belonged with the crowd of gawkers behind her, completely absorbed in the spectacle.

Right, although this little Crown Princess was causing trouble at their doorstep, from the beginning until now, it had always been one of her subordinates shouting, and she hadn't even moved her lips twice.

"Crown Princess!" The Shi family's eldest son glared, his eyes fixed on the poker-faced young lady. "Who do you want us to see?"

Qiao Mu clapped her small, fair hands twice.

Immediately, someone pushed a blindfolded man forward, forcibly shoving him until he stumbled and knelt before Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu gestured with a raised hand.

A Purple Forest Guard stepped forward and forcefully yanked the black cloth covering the man's face.

The sudden, blinding light made the man's eyes instinctively close. When he reopened them and met the gaze of the Shi family's eldest son, the latter's pupils constricted in surprise. However, he desperately suppressed himself, not allowing a single shout of "Miao Sheng" to escape his lips.

"How is it? Is this your young lady's house servant?" Aoyue said lightly.

"Heh, who is this?" The Shi family's eldest son immediately reacted.

Perhaps today's events, related to his second sister Shi Yongqian and the entire Shi family, truly couldn't be entirely disconnected.

But he was also a shrewd person. With a quick turn of his mind, he immediately denied everything.

He thought to himself, as long as he didn't acknowledge Miao Sheng's identity, the little Crown Princess's attempt to frame the Shi family with baseless charges using a mere servant would surely not hold water.

Qiao Mu saw that he outright denied it. She didn't rush, nor did she get angry. She merely cast a cold glance at the man and nodded faintly.

"Aoyue."

"Yes." Aoyue picked up the compensation list and read aloud, "First condition: present the head of your Shi family's second young lady, Shi Yongqian."

The Shi family's eldest son's face changed, then he burst into wild laughter. "What an arrogant Crown Princess! You bring a servant we don't recognize to our Shi family, and in three sentences, you want to condemn our Shi family for defying the Heavenly Dao. Do you think this is possible?"

Qiao Mu's eyes met his with an icy gaze. "I want you to personally state this person's identity!"

With that, before the Shi family patriarch could even cry out, a streak of jade light, a Proverb Talisman, struck the Shi family's eldest son.

"Young Master Shi, do you truly not recognize who this person is?"

"He is Shi Yongqian, my second sister's personal house servant, Miao Sheng." The Shi family's eldest son's expression turned blank. After being struck by the Proverb Talisman, he immediately answered obediently.

The Shi family patriarch had no time to stop any of this. The Shi family's eldest son, under the control of the Proverb Talisman, completely revealed Miao Sheng's identity. His face instantly turned ashen, and he slumped back, his body half-shrunken in despair.

"The Shi family is truly a prominent and wealthy clan," Qiao Mu's icy voice resounded again. "Let this person called Miao Sheng recount his crimes again."

With a flick of her finger, another Proverb Talisman entered Miao Sheng's body.

Miao Sheng immediately stood up, looking up at the sky and laughing wildly. With arrogant composure, he recounted all the misdeeds he had committed.

This included how he received instructions from the Shi family's second young lady, Shi Yongqian, to repeatedly seek a path to Sky Void Star, failed many times, and finally reached Mo Capital.
